Abstract
The invention provides a biosensor comprising a microbe-binding aptamer(s) in the substrate recognition element. It is possible to obtain a stabilized biosensor wherein the detection sensitivity for target microbe (target bacterium) is not impaired depending on the storage condition or measuring sample, and target bacterium in a body fluid can be directly measured by insertion of the substrate recognition element of the biosensor.
Claims4
A biosensor comprising a microbe-binding apatmer(s) in a substrate recognition element, wherein the microbe is Streptococcus mutans and the aptamer(s) binds with a protein comprising any of the amino acid sequences as set forth in SEQ ID NO:
- 1-12, 14, and 15.
A biosensor comprising a microbe-binding aptamer(s) in a substrate recognition element, wherein the microbe is Streptococcus sobrinus and the aptamer(s) binds with a protein comprising any of the amino acid sequences as set forth in SEQ ID NO:
- 16-20.
A biosensor comprising a microbe-binding aptamer(s) in a substrate recognition element, wherein the microbe is Lactobacillus acidophilus.
